Naomi Osaka and American rapper Cordae started dating in 2019. She announced her withdrawal from the 2023 Australian Open followed by her pregnancy news. Naomi Osaka and Cordae became parents to their daughter ‘Shai’ in July this year.
In a recent interview, she revealed her parenting of Shai with Cordae and how they have huge respect for each other.
Parenting with Cordae has been easy so far. We built a really good foundation. I don’t know if it’s because he’s an easy going guy, but I think we just respect each other’s opinions. And if we disagree on something, we talk it out. At the end of the day, we both want what’s best for Shai.
